These abhorrent rich are digging their bunkers as deep as they can right now folks. They are actively trying to destroy the worlds population and leave just the 2500 or so BILLIONAIRES that now live on the planet. And they know they are going to have to hide, VERY DEEP.

Pst, your blueprints, air systems, AND you private detail are compromised already. When you fucks enact your end game, you'll be reminded there is no hole deep enough to hide in.

You just couldn't be happy being rich. WE have become too much of an inconvenience to you.

Tick tock.....

Destroy their oxygen intakes. Job done.

Fart into it. Make them suffer.

Maybe a more potent gas could do the trick.

What I would give for a movie prop tube of green pearl VX to leave around my workshop...

If the Hitman games taught me anything, is that a single bottle of poison (the type that you can comfortably fit in your pocket) is sufficient to kill an entire building of people if you get it into the ventilation system.

Thing is, they need to bring their help and the help won't be happy if their families are left high and dry. These people are just too fucking stupid

I suspect they have some sort of plan how to solve that conundrum. We should ask Curtis Yarvin.

Someone last year was talking about plans being discussed involving "obedience collars" which I assume are just shock collars that have the ability to kill.

You can come into safety as a slave or die outside.

Oh I am sure they planned and maybe even got the Saudis to consult. But I still think they are too stupid to realize the flaws of those plans. Even if they were as smart as they think they are, it's difficult to predict how things will work after the civilization they depend on for their power collapses. Hell, it probably doesn't matter how smart you are, such a scenario is inherently unpredictable.

Blinkered I'd say. Self-obsessed. Neverending greed is a mental condition. Either way, it has very little to do with intelligence imo.

They probably have a small group of people whom they treat very well specifically so they won't shoot them in the back once they're the only ones with the guns in post-apocalyptic world.

They made interconnected ones during covid, fallout irl. They have private islands with stem cell clinics. Adam devine talks about how he goes to one on the workaholics podcast since they give way more than the dose you can get in the US.

This is weirdly similar in many ways to Dungeon Crawler Carl. Dwindling numbers of people, digging ever deeper... Different in most other ways, but I'm a little obsessed right now.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I legit think that is their game plan, to enact wealth based population control. Millionaires become the new working poor and billionaires become bunker lords. Everyone else just dies

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 12 hours ago

If they want to go hide in a hole, that's fine by me. It'll presumably be simple enough to just seal it up completely.
